The Patriots informed veteran wide receiver DeVante Parker they intend to release him on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The team has also granted Parker permission to speak with other teams.

Parker’s anticipated release comes just eight months after the team extended his contract. The 31-year-old disappointed last season, catching 33 passes for 394 yards and zero touchdowns in 13 games. The Patriots reportedly are also looking to part with JuJu Smith-Schuster, whose worse production and more sizable contract is expected to make him more difficult to move.

If the Patriots cut Parker, he will incur a $6.33 million dead cap hit, per Over The Cap.
